Lok Sabha Elections 2014: British Comedian John Oliver Describes the Indian Election and Nails It

British comedian John Oliver describes the Indian Election and shows how silly our political discourse has become.

We nearly fell off our chair watching this one. The Indian media is fighting for perspective in this general election and who can blame them, when all our politicians can talk about is caste, religion, misogyny and mud-slinging. So, it finally took a British comedian/satirist of an American show to show us the mirror. And how ridiculous our political discourse looks (don't get offended, he has made a career out of lampooning the American media for their election coverage).

From describing Rahul Gandhi as super handsome, to showing amazement at Narendra Modi’s 3D speeches, this segment has it all. But he does save the best for last. Comparing Indian media’s election coverage to that of America’s shrill toned Fox Network’s and under researched CNN’s, Oliver drives home the point.
